Gain new understanding of literacy development in the middle elementary years with this latest Kids InSight book. The lessons learned by the authors, who observed literacy events in third- and fourth-grade classrooms, altered their vision of teaching and learning. Share their observations of how students engage in literacy events and construct meaning within those events, focusing on three factors that significantly influence the construction of meaning in classroom settings; stance, social positioning, and interpretive authority. The authors also show how tensions can arise between teachers and students based on the relationship between these factors. Each chapter in this book combines theoretical perspectives with instructional strategies, giving you a conceptual framework for evaluating your own practice. And, like all Kids InSight books, Buried Treasures in the Classroom offers wonderful classroom vignettes, Reflection Points, discussion questions, and suggested readings.
